If there’s one question I get all the time from supervisors, safety officers, and even workers themselves, it’s this: “Do we need to retrain someone after a fall incident?” And honestly, I get why folks are confused. The moment a fall happens—whether it’s an actual fall or a near miss—everyone suddenly becomes an expert. You’ll
Let’s be honest—this question comes up all the time. I’ve lost count of how many workers, supervisors, or even business owners have asked me, “Boss, pwede na ba online fall protection?

I mean, when someone falls, the story doesn’t end at
If you’ve ever worked on a roof in the middle of a hot Arizona afternoon, you already know—fall protection isn’t something you take lightly. Between the blistering sun, metal rooftops that heat up like a frying pan, and strong desert winds, it only takes one small mistake for things to go bad fast. I’ve walked
If there’s one thing anyone working at heights in Alaska quickly learns, it’s this: our environment doesn’t play around. Whether you’re on an icy scaffold in Anchorage, a metal platform out in the North Slope, or a windy rooftop near Juneau, conditions up here turn a simple task into something a lot more serious.

Yes — fall protection training can absolutely help you get a job. It doesn’t guarantee employment, but it gives you a real advantage over applicants who don’t have it. Employers in construction, roofing, warehousing, telecom, oil & gas, and maintenance prefer hiring workers who already understand the basics of working safely at heights. Having this
